Book Review and a Prize

If you've been following along, we did a book review yesterday of Summer At The Lake Quilts by Maw Bell Designs. We sent you over to their blog where they were having a give-away of their book. Being the nice ladies that they are - they are returning the favor. On Sunday December 11 they will post a book review of Victory Girls.

Go over to their blog and read the review and then come back here and comment below for the prize. Comment before Midnight Tuesday December 13th and you could win a copy of Victory Girls, or the kit shown above. That Christmassy looking kit makes this.... our quilt featured in the current American Patchwork & Quilting - Center Stage.

The book looks terrific-love the borders too and can't wait to see the hooked rugs! I have the magazine and Center Stage is marked for remembering-I would be delighted with either and thank you much for the opportunity and for all your wonderful designs.

Thanks for introducing me to their blog. They had a beautiful review of your book. And I will be reading their blog often along with your blog. Victory Girls and their new book is a must have! Thanks for the giveaway.

Just saw their post and the many kind words they said about you both and it's all true. Laurie lives in our area and no matter where you see her-she's always nice and I've met Polly and she is just as nice.I buy every one of their books as soon as they come out so I really, really, really want to win the quilt kit. I LOVE that quilt! Merry Christmas ladies! :-)

Well it seem not only do they like the book but state that you two are the nicest people. I'm new to this quilt world and what a wonderful world it is!Love your color stories and I must place your book on my Christmas wish list...now that I've found your blog I'll be back often!Merry Christmas Tee

All those red and white quilts were a great inspiration --- so much so, that our guild is having a two color challenge (would I do mine in green and white?! Probably). I'm looking forward to seeing your new book and, of course, am happy to be in the running for the book or fabric kit! Thank you!

I have Victory Girls on my wish list, so maybe my wish will be fulfilled by Maw Bell! I love the Center Stage quilt in APQ also. Ever since visiting Infinite Variety I am more in love than ever with Red and White!

My house is decorated in a red, blue and cream patriotic/war memorabilia theme. The living room is filled with items from WWII and Vietnam pieces. The book looks awesome. Love those borders, hope they are not too difficult as I've only been quilting a year.

They did a lovely review~ and you two look marvelous! I would love to make every quilt in your book! Having my DD, DFIL and uncles serve in the war, and then my DH serve for 30 years, we are a very patriotic family. Thanks for the chance!

i love the book for the borders! this book review is a real tribute to the women who 'served' ... i knew women who longshored at the docks in seward, the ice free port for alaska when alaska had been invaded by thejapanese.

Thanks for linking us to a 'new-to-me' blog. Great review of your book...I am amazed at the borders. Maybe I will be able to recreate them with some skill after I finish a few more beginner quilts! A girl can dream.

I have to say, I admire the work you both do. It is tops any way you look at it. But more than that - I love how the two of you "sister together". It is past admirable. Your parents certainly did something (alot of things) right.

P.S.. Laurie - there is nothing sweeter than the kitties stitcheries!!!!!! Just precious.

Such beautiful quilts. I want to make borders like that! The kit you are giving away is so beautiful. I love the cream and white colors together.The book would fit right in with the rest of my quilt books I covet. She is so talented. Thanks for the chance at the drawing.

Lovely new book...I am somewhat partial to a good red/white/blue quilt and own several antique ones...this book could be the start of more! And this comment is coming from an Aussie who should love her own colours (but, sadly, green and gold is not a common colour combo in antique quilts)

never has red white and blue been more beautiful. victory girls looks amazing. I would love and treasure a quilt from this book. thank you for a chance to win. love what you do polly and laurie:)Janita

I have loved the red,white, and blue color scheme for a long but my favorite part is that it is a patriotic book. I think we often forget to appreciate those who serve us all by serving our country. Thanks for reminding us of them.
